Unable to display correctly the contents of a file without a line feed
I am using AIX and ksh.
I need to display the contents of a file that has a pid (process id). Because the file is open, it doesn't have the line feed or new line, so for some reason if I do this: `cat $pid` , where $pid is the name of the fully qualified file, it displays test3.sh[12]: 426110: not found It should display: 426110 I tried to copy the file and then try to run vi through the scripts; and edit it; and save it so that a /n will be added at the end (assuming that that is the problem). The file only has one line which is the number of the process id. It seems simple, but no luck. Any suggestions please....? thank you Last edited by Gato; 06-25-2008 at 08:52 PM.. |
